Kansas City Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
Bathroom remodeling rewards experience. Plumbing, waterproofing, tile layout, fixture placement, ventilation, electrical work, and accessibility all have to work together inside an existing room — and the details behind the finished surface determine how well the bathroom holds up. For more than 30 years, Decker Service Professionals has helped Kansas City-area homeowners plan and complete bathroom remodels with clear written scopes, coordinated trade work, and straightforward communication from the first conversation through completion.

When the Bathroom No Longer Works the Way It Should
Bathroom remodeling is often driven by more than appearance. The room may be difficult to use, hard to maintain, poorly laid out, or no longer suited to the homeowner’s needs.
Dated or Deteriorated Finishes
Worn flooring, damaged walls, aging fixtures, outdated tile, or finishes that are difficult to maintain.
Layout, Storage & Daily Function
Improve fixture placement, storage, lighting, and the way the room works from day to day.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Replace an existing tub with a shower when easier entry, more usable shower space, or a different bathing setup is preferred.
Aging-in-Place Improvements
Make the bathroom easier and safer to use with lower-entry showers, grab-bar preparation, comfort-height fixtures, and other practical changes.
Repairs That Should Be Addressed Together
Coordinate repairs to drywall, subfloor, trim, framing, or other affected finishes as part of a larger bathroom project rather than piecemeal work.
Bathroom Remodeling Services
A bathroom remodel is a set of coordinated assemblies, not a list of isolated tasks. Substrate, waterproofing, plumbing transitions, layout, and sequencing all affect the finished room. The exact scope varies by project; Decker coordinates the parts that apply to the existing space, the selected products, and the homeowner’s goals.

What a Well-Planned Bathroom Remodel Can Improve
Better Function
Improve layout, storage, fixture placement, lighting, and daily usability.
Improved Accessibility
Make bathing and everyday use easier with tub-to-shower conversions, lower-entry showers, grab-bar preparation, and other aging-in-place improvements where appropriate.
Easier Maintenance
Replace deteriorated or difficult-to-maintain finishes with updated surfaces and materials suited to the project.
A More Cohesive Finish
Coordinate tile, flooring, fixtures, trim, paint, and related finishes as one project rather than a series of disconnected updates.
A Clear Plan Before Demolition Begins
Bathroom remodeling often involves existing plumbing, electrical, framing, subfloor, waterproofing, ventilation, product dimensions, and finish conditions that must work together.
Before demolition: Decker defines the scope, settles major selections, verifies product dimensions, and coordinates the work that is known in advance, so plumbing, blocking, and electrical locations match the fixtures being installed.
Before tile: substrate, waterproofing, and shower pan details are completed and checked, because tile and grout alone do not keep water out of the framing.
During demolition, exposed conditions are evaluated so the project can respond to what is actually present behind the existing finishes.
If concealed deterioration, moisture damage, framing issues, subfloor problems, plumbing conditions, or field-fit issues are uncovered, we document what was found, explain the recommended next step, and review how it affects the project before proceeding.
Where major plumbing or electrical work is required, Decker coordinates that work as part of the overall project. The goal is to keep the bathroom remodel organized while making practical decisions based on the existing home and the products being installed.

Becky Fangmann
“Guy and Luis and Lisa were such a professional operation to work with! I am so pleased…”
Genia Ladish
“I had Decker Service Professionals remodel my kitchen. Guy came out and gave me an estimate. Him and his crew of Dustin, Rick and Charles were great to work with. They cleaned up every day and didn’t leave a mess. I was able to trust the crew alone in my house. That’s a big plus! Their workmanship was great! I am talking with Guy now about doing my bathroom. I highly recommend this Company!”
Matt Aripoli
“Fantastic organization . Guy, Lisa, and Luis are awesome. It is nice to work with a contractor who is transparent and responsive. Workmanship is top notch as well. Highly recommend.”
Bathroom Remodeling FAQs
Bathroom remodeling costs vary depending on the size of the bathroom, the amount of demolition, the fixtures and finishes selected, and whether plumbing, electrical, framing, subfloor, or other repairs are required. As a general planning range, a focused bathroom update or facelift may fall around $5,000–$15,000, while a more complete bathroom remodel commonly falls around $10,000–$25,000 or more depending on the scope and selections. Decker develops a written project scope and reviews major selections so the estimate reflects the actual work being considered rather than a generic square-foot price.
The schedule depends on the project scope, product lead times, inspections where required, and any conditions discovered after demolition. A focused update may move more quickly than a full remodel involving multiple trades. We review the expected sequence before work begins and communicate if field conditions affect the schedule.
Yes. Some projects involve a tub-to-shower conversion, shower replacement, or targeted improvements rather than a complete bathroom remodel. We evaluate the surrounding walls, plumbing, flooring, and finishes to determine what additional work is needed for a proper installation.
Concealed damage cannot always be identified before demolition. If deterioration, moisture damage, framing issues, or subfloor problems are uncovered, we document what was found, explain the recommended repair, and review how it affects the scope and cost before proceeding.
Yes. Decker handles light plumbing and electrical work associated with many remodeling projects and coordinates major plumbing or electrical work when required. We also coordinate tile, carpentry, drywall, flooring, painting, and other work included in the remodel.
Both approaches are possible. Some homeowners select and purchase certain fixtures or finishes themselves, while other selections can be coordinated through Decker. We identify who is supplying each item in the project scope so ordering and installation responsibilities are clear.
Yes. Bathroom projects can include aging-in-place improvements such as tub-to-shower conversions, lower-entry showers, grab-bar blocking and installation, comfort-height toilets, and other changes intended to make the space easier and safer to use.
Before demolition, the layout, shower or tub type, vanity size, toilet location, and tile selections should be settled, because they set drain, supply, valve, blocking, and electrical locations behind the walls. Product dimensions for the tub or shower base, vanity, and fixtures are confirmed so rough-in work matches what will actually be installed.
Tile and grout are not a waterproof system on their own. In showers and other wet areas, a waterproofing system installed over a suitable substrate is what keeps water out of the framing and subfloor. Decker addresses the substrate, waterproofing, and shower pan details before tile goes in, because problems there are difficult to correct once the finished tile is set.
Usually not. Most homeowners remain in the home during a bathroom remodel, although the bathroom being remodeled will be unavailable for portions of the project. We discuss access, work hours, dust protection, and any temporary limitations before construction begins.
